Hey, Phil. Sure, as a 95 user myself, more than a little dissappointed in the loss of support. Are you saying that v6.0 was ok with '95? Still - if lavasoft is only providing updates for v6.181, then older builds are of limited benefit. The 'PRO' version installs ok on '95A but did not function properly (for me, at least) On '98SE - no problem.

.. er - I guess I mean v6.0 build 181

Hi jboy, Yep ... I was using Ad-Aware 6.0.181 on my Win95a as late as last night before I got this brainy idea of putting it on another drive ... lol Now for some reason it won't install. The only major thing I have done before uninstalling it was I updated Spybot S&D to version 1.3. It is not running in the background as far as I know so I don't know what the scoop is. Thanks for replying back, Phil " .... nuff said! Keep Smiling because I'm Smiling too!"

Ok - I wasn't sure quite what to make of the 'final' version - I don't believe Lavasoft explicitly denies (or confirms) continued support for 95. Skimmed their forums a few times, but didn't see any references. Still running the old (1.2) version of Spybot on this 95 box - the new version does seem to scan considerably faster though. My systems are reasonably 'clean' - generally all that's ever found these days are the occasional cookie - but it would be nice to have ad-aware scanning.

Hi jboy, Yes, I think the new Spybot version (1.3) is much faster than the previous one too. Anything that goes faster on my old 'clunker' really helps ...lol I just hope I can get the Ad-Aware 6.0 back on the old 'puter. Between the two of them ... even though they did conflict ... it was a fairly good tandum. Have a good one! Thanks and regards, Phil " .... nuff said! Keep Smiling because I'm Smiling too!"

Phil, email me. (Click on my name.) I've got an older version of AdAware6 archived. I'm not sure which build it is without actually installing it, but it may be what you're looking for. HTH Dave Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet soup?

Hi Dave357, Great to hear from you again. Sorry for the delay in answering but I have been busy getting my Ad-Aware 6 program in working order. And ... work it does! I really appreciate your kindness of offering an archived version for me to try on my system, but it is no longer necessary. Another friend of mine sent me a copy of his 6.0.181 version and it downloaded and installed as easy as eating apple pie. I don't know what was happening with my attempts at downloading off the net, but his zip file did the trick. Once again I really appreciate you taking the time to attempt to help me. But then, like I have always said, that is what makes this forum stand out above all the rest. There is a genuine willingness to help us 'newbies'. Rest assured, I for one, appreciate it. Thanks and regards, Phil " .... nuff said! Keep Smiling because I'm Smiling too!"

So, you've installed essentially the same version (6.0.181)- but from a different download? Have you been able to run the program successfully? Bleat at me no longer.

Phil, glad to hear that you got it working. HTH Dave Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet soup?

Hi jboy and Dave357, Yes it is the same version (6.0.181) I originally had before I started all this 'shifting' around. My friend just emailed me his 'zipped' Lavasoft folder. Once I unzipped it I put the whole thing in my E/Programs folder, installed it and lived happily ever after ... lol Now it is working just like before and is doing the job now that I have restored my personal settings. I don't know why the computer wasn't allowing me to download and install it myself off the web. The one major thing I did before trying to move Ad-Aware from one drive to another was download and install the new SpyBot S&D version 1.3. I am no computer 'geru' by any means but I feel there must have been some conflict between the two in this situation. Now they are both installed and both are doing the job I expect from each of them. For the record, I have been off work the last three days. I decided to do a picture-perfect front flip (not on purpose ... lol) while walking down a paved concrete hill. I think the flip was almost perfect ... the landing left a lot to be desired ...lol Turns out I sprained my ankle. So I have been working on computer 'projects'(messing things up) and getting in my wife's hair. Time to go back to work tomorrow. Thanks for posting and offering your suggestions too. Have a great day! Thanks and regards, Phil " .... nuff said! Keep Smiling because I'm Smiling too!"

Hi Phil, everyone Right, I did notice your 'unexpected fall' mentioned back there - hope you are well (holidays are never unwelcome though) One-track mind wrt computers (likely it's a weakness) Well, that's encouraging if A-A6 runs alright on your 95 machine - I'd given up after installing the Pro version and having it stop unexpectedly - will try again. Take care. Bleat at me no longer.

Hi jboy, I would be more than happy to try sending you a copy of the 'Lavasoft' zip folder I received if that would help you out any. Regards, Phil " .... nuff said! Keep Smiling because I'm Smiling too!"

I appreciate the offer, Phil - can I get back to you on that? Bleat at me no longer.

Hi jboy, Anytime .. just let me know when or if you are interested. Regards, Phil " .... nuff said! Keep Smiling because I'm Smiling too!"
